It seems that this verse ( Matthew 17:21) does not appear in some of the very oldest manuscripts that are available to us. For example it does not appear in the Sinaitic code or the Vatican code manuscripts - for this reason some translations omit it entirely as it seems that it was added later on and not part of the original.
While I agree that fasting may be a good thing - we should not add to or take away from the Holy Writings however good our intentions may be.
